Java Mail get mails with pop3 from exchange server => Exception in thread “main” javax.mail.MessagingException

Question

Following code to get mails from an exchange email account:

public class TicketMain {

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        final Properties props = new Properties();

        //XTrustProvider.install();

       // System.setProperty("sun.security.ssl.allowUnsafeRenegotiation", true);

        props.setProperty("mail.pop3.socketFactory.class", "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
        props.setProperty("mail.pop3.socketFactory.fallback", "false");
        props.setProperty( "mail.pop3.host", "10.30.0.103" );
        props.setProperty( "mail.pop3.user", "xxxx");
        props.setProperty( "mail.pop3.password", "xxxx!");
        props.setProperty( "mail.pop3.ssl.enable", "true");
        props.setProperty( "mail.pop3.port", "445" );
        props.setProperty( "mail.pop3.auth", "true" );      
        props.setProperty("mail.pop3.starttls.enable", "false"); 
       /* props.setProperty( "mail.pop3.starttls.enable", "true" );
        props.setProperty( "mail.pop3.starttls.required", "true" );*/

        Session session  = Session.getInstance(props);
        session.setDebug(true);



        Store store = session.getStore("pop3");
        store.connect("xxxx", "xxxx!");         
        Folder folder = store.getDefaultFolder();
        folder.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);
        Message message[] = folder.getMessages();
        for ( int i = 0; i < message.length; i++ )
        {
          Message m = message[i];
              System.out.println( "-------------------------\nNachricht: " + i );
              System.out.println( "From: " + Arrays.toString(m.getFrom()) );
              System.out.println( "Topic: " + m.getSubject() );   


          if ( m.isMimeType("text/plain") )
            System.out.println( m.getContent() );
        }
        folder.close( false );
        store.close();

    }

}

When executing this application I get following error:

SSL certificate is already imported into java keystore.

Whats wrong here?

telnet host port is working from client.

Answer 1

You are trying to establish a SSL/TLS connection to a plain text POP3 port, not a POP3S port.

Therefore if you want to use SSL/TLS you have to enable starttls but disable ssl.

    props.setProperty("mail.pop3.ssl.enable", "false");
    props.setProperty("mail.pop3.starttls.enable", "true"); 
    props.setProperty("mail.pop3.starttls.required", "true");
